- Flatworms. Flat worms are soft-bodied invertebrate animals from the platyhelminthes phylum. They take in oxygen but have no formal respiratory system. This is because they are very simple animals. They went through such small evolution that they never developed a complex respiratory system.

- Coelom. Nearly all annelids have a fluid-filled cavity between the outer body wall and the gut, and this is referred to as a coelom (Figure 1). The coelom is often used as a storage area for gametes and acts as a hydrostatic skeleton for locomotion.he coelom (formed via schizocoely) is generally organized as a series of compartments divided by intersegmental septa. This compartmentalization means that if the worm is damaged the coelomic contents will only be lost from a few segments, and locomotion can be maintained.

Earthworm The gut of the earthworm is a straight tube which extends from the worm's mouth to its anus. It is differentiated into a buccal cavity (generally running through the first one or two segments of the earthworm), pharynx (running generally about four segments in length), esophagus, crop, gizzard (usually) and intestine. Chemical: In addition to dead organic matter, the earthworm also ingests any other soil particles that are small enough—including sand grains up to 1/20 of an inch (1.25 mm)—into its gizzard, wherein those minute fragments of grit grind everything into a fine paste which is then digested in the intestine.

Trichinella Trichinella is the genus of parasitic roundworms of the phylum Nematoda that cause trichinosis (also known as trichinellosis).Members of this genus are often called trichinella or trichina worms.A characteristic of Nematoda is the one-way digestive tract, with a pseudocoelom (body cavity made up of only an ectoderm and endoderm). The genus was first recognised in a larval form in 1835.embers of this genus are often called trichinella or trichina worms.

Your Digestive System and How It Works The large, hollow organs of the digestive tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement of organ walls can propel food and liquid through the … system and also can mix the contents within each organ. Food moves from one organ to the next through muscle action called peristalsis. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle. The muscle of the organ contracts to create a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ. These waves of narrowing push the food and fluid in front of them through each hollow organ.

- Gastrovascular system of the flatworm Dugesia, colored yellow. The gastrovascular cavity is the primary organ of digestion and circulation in two major animal phyla: the Cnidaria (including jellyfish and corals) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms). The cavity may be extensively branched into a system of canals. In cnidarians, the gastrovascular system is also known as the coelenteron, and is commonly known as a blind gut or blind sac, since food enters and waste exits through the same orifice.

Planarian The planarian has very simple organ systems. The digestive system consists of a mouth, pharynx, and a gastrovascular cavity. The mouth is located in the center of the underside of the body. Digestive enzymes are secreted from the mouth to begin external digestion.The pharynx connects the mouth to the gastrovascular cavity. planarian is one of many flatworms of the Turbellaria class. It is also the common name for a member of the genus Planaria within the family Planariidae.

Phylum Platyhelminth A flatworm has a gastrovascular cavity with one opening. It eats small worms, insects and microscopic matter. Respiration: A flatworm takes in oxygen, but has no formal respiratory system. Reproduction: A flatworm reproduces by splitting in two. When a flatworm is split up it immediately forms a new flatworm. Excretion: A flatworm gets rid of wastes through the same opening it takes in food. Symmetry: A flatworm has bilateral symmetry.

Introduction to the Platyhelminthes Introduction to the Platyhelminthes Life in two dimensions. . . The simplest animals that are bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic (composed of three fundamental cell layers) are the Platyhelminthes, the flatworms. Flatworms have no body cavity other than the gut (and the smallest free-living forms may even lack that!) and lack an anus; the same pharyngeal opening both takes in food and expels waste. Because of the lack of any other body cavity, in larger flatworms the gut is often very highly branched in order to transport food to all parts of the body.

They are found many places and can be free living or parasitic.A parasite lives off of another living thing called a host and can be harmful. One of the best known flatworms is the tapeworm.The tapeworm can get into a person's digestive tract and grow to enormous lengths.The tapeworm then eats off the host and is dangerous to the host as it grows and consumes more of the host and its food.

Major Phyla Of Animals Roundworms (Nematoda) and rotifers (Rotifera) have a body cavity (coelom) where organs are found and that can serve as a hydrostatic skeleton. Their coelom is called a pseudocoelom because it is not completely lined by mesoderm. Roundworms are nonsegmented worms that include many common parasites.

Flatworm Unlike other bilaterians, Platyhelminthes have no internal body cavity, so are described as acoelomates. They also lack specialized circulatory and respiratory organs, both of these facts are defining features when classifying a flatworm's anatomy.

Gastrovascular Cavity: Definition & Explanation The gastrovascular cavity is a structure found in primitive animal phyla. It is responsible for both the digestion of food and the transport of nutrients throughout the body. The cavity has only one opening to the environment. Food goes in and waste comes out that same opening, making it a two-way digestive tract.nimals such as jellyfish, corals and flatworms have a much simpler way to handle the digestion of food, as well as the circulation of nutrients around the body. Learn about the structure and function of the gastrovascular cavity in these organisms.

- Flatworms belong to the Phylum Platyhelminthes (Latin for Flatworms, although it sounds much more official), whose characteristics shape - flat - is an evolutionary answer to a problem of multicellular life: as an animal gets bigger, the inside cells get farther and farther away from the outside, so that oxygen gets depleted before it reaches them and wastes build up on the way out.

- Flatworms have three cell layers: an ectoderm, an outer covering like the other groups have; an endoderm, a lining of the digestive spaces somewhat like a cnidarians; and a mesoderm between the other two. With actual tissues protected like this, another evolutionary explosion of features happened.

Difference Between Flatworms and Roundworms • Roundworms have a rigid outer covering called the cuticle. Often, flatworm has cilia on the surface of its body and not cuticle. • Flatworms are acoelomates that they do not have a body cavity, whereas roundworms are psuedocoelomates.• Flatworms have only one opening, which functions as both mouth and anus. However, roundworms have a complete digestive tract, with two separate openings for the mouth and anus. Roundworms have a rigid outer covering called the cuticle. Often, flatworm has cilia on the surface of its body and not cuticle. • Flatworms are acoelomates that they do not have a body cavity, whereas roundworms are psuedocoelomates.

Body Cavities Schematic diagrams of the bodies of animals with coeloms, with pseudocoeloms, or without body cavities. In humans all but the cranial cavity develop from the coelom (pronounced SEE-lum). A coelom is a cavity that is entirely enclosed within cells derived from the middle layer of embryonic tissue.A few groups of animals, such as roundworms (Nematoda), have a body cavity that is only partly enclosed by tissue from the middle layer. Such a body cavity is called a pseudocoelom (pronounced SOO-doe-SEE-lum).In a few other groups, such as flatworms (Platyhelminthes), there is no body cavity. coelom is a cavity that is entirely enclosed within cells derived from the middle layer of embryonic tissue.

- The mouth of a flatworm is on the underside of the body, in some, towards the centre or the back end of the body. The skin of a flatworm is covered with cilia (tiny beating hairs). The swirling of their constantly beating cilia gives their group name 'Turbellaria' which means 'whirpool'.
